Strict Pull-up - Band Assisted

Using a band to perform pull-ups with precision is a great way to clean up technique and build towards bodyweight pull-ups.

Cues:

• Use a band that allows you to pull your chest all the way to the pull-up bar

• Place your foot in the band then settle into a passive hang

• Initiate the pull by pulling the depressing and retracting the scaps

• Pull with the arms until the chest contacts the bar

• Lower with active scaps until the arms are straight

• Release the scaps to return to a full hang

Mistakes:

• Using the band to bounce or create momentum

• Pulling arms before scaps, or without scaps at all

• Not making physical contact with the bar at the top

• Lowering without scap control

• Failing to reach a full hang each rep
